per ends of two coil springs e7, which at their
lower ends are connected to projections of
rock-shaft or frame C. A cord or strap E is
connected at one end to the tubular portion e3
5 of quadrant e and after beingpassed through
groove e2 is passed against a pulley f held by
a platef' of board or support d' and is then
passed beneath pulley a4, up through post a',
over pulley b4, and thence over the second
io pulley d7, the end of said cord or strap hav-
ing a loop or ring f3 connected thereto. By
pulling on this cord or strap E the leverD is
made to move on its pivot. The outer end of
the tubular portion of lever D is split and is
15 provided with a yoke g in which works a set-
screw g'. A whip F is placed in this split
end and is firmly held by the adjustment of
the set-screw, which will bind the split end
against the whip. Thus it will be seen that
20 by pulling on the cord or strap E the whip
carried by the pivoted lever is made to strike
one of the draft horses; and by moving the
rock-shaft or frame by pulling on its cord d'
and again operating the whip-lever, another
25 one of the draft horses will be struck by the
whip. In this way I am enabled by a simple
operation of two cords or straps to effect the
whipping or striking of all the draft-horses
attached to a horse power machine. The at-
30 tachment is secured to that end of the sweep-
lever to which the horses are attached, and
the sweep lever is free to revolve without in-
terference of or with the whipping mechan-
ism, the swivels in the cords or chains pre-
35 venting the latter from winding by reason of
the revolution of the sweep-lever.
I claim as my invention-
1. The herein-described improved horse-
whipping machine, comprising the lever car-
40 rying a whip at its outer end and having a
quadrant at its inner end, the springs at-
tached to said lever, the rock-shaft or frame
supporting said lever, and the cord or strap
fitted against said quadrant and connected
45 to one end thereof, substantially as set forth.
2. The herein- described improved horse-
whipping machine, comprising the rock-shaftor frame having corresponding arms, the
springs connected to said shaft or frame, the
lever pivotally mounted between said arms, 50
and having springs connected thereto, the
whip in the outer end of said lever, and the
cord or strap attached to said lever together
with means for adjusting said rock-shaft or
frame, substantially as set forth. 55
3. The herein - described improved horse-
whipping machine for a draft horse power,
comprising the combination with the sweep
lever, of the post mounted on said sweep le-
ver and having pulleys at its upperandlower 60
ends, the rock shaft or frame at one end of
said sweep-lever, the lever pivotally mounted
on said shaft or frame and carrying a whip,
the strap or chain connected to said shaft or
frame, and the cord or strap attached to the 65
inner end of said lever, said strap or chain
and cord or strap being in engagement with
said pulleys, substantially as set forth.
4. The herein -described improved herse-
whipping machine, comprising the combina- 70
tion, with the pivoted sweep-lever of a draft-
horse power, of the post secured to said sweep
lever and having pulleys in its lower end, the
frame loosely secured to said post and hav-
ing pulleys, the rock shaft or frame pivotally 75
mounted on one end of said sweep-lever and
having corresponding projecting arms, the
lever pivotally mounted between said arms
and having an outer split end and a quad-
rant at its inner end, the springs secured to 80
said lever, the spring connected to said shaft
or frame, the cord or strap fitted in a groove
of said quadrant and attached to the end
thereof, and the strap or chain connected to
said shaft or frame, said cord or strap and 85
strap or chain being in engagement with said
pulleys, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed this
specification in the presence of two subscrib-
ing witnesses.
